Expectation

 Psalm 62:5

My soul, wait silently for God alone,
For my expectation is from Him
My friend Philip Sharp recently encouraged his church to come not just because they needed to be healed but to come expecting to be healed.
When we have expectation for something we believe, have faith, that we are going to get it. If you work a job you have an expectation that you are going to get paid come pay day.
In Psalm 62:5 it says our expectation comes from God. Why, because He has given us promises, His character and His love for us. Healing, for example, is a promise, part of His character and is a part of His love for us. We should come to the Lord with an expectation always for healing. We should also have expectation and faith for all His promises for us.
If there is a problem of lacking expectation it is because we lack the knowledge of His promises, character and love.
Read His Word. It will show you all 3 in detail and build your expectation and faith for all there is for you and share it all with everyone you meet. That way expectation and faith can grow in them. First for salvation and then the rest.

Do we have big enough expectations?

  Do we have big enough expectations?   How do you define hope?  Do you define it as most of the world has come to define it which is basically wishing?  Actually, hope is to have an expectation for something or that something will happen and this is especially true in a Biblical context.  Take a look at the following verses and every time you read hope say expectation.     Romans 15:4 For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.    Romans 15:12-13 And again, Isaiah says: “There shall be a root of Jesse; And He who shall rise to reign over the Gentiles, In Him the Gentiles shall hope.”  13  Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.   Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evi...
